md5sums.txt missing for QtCreator 4.2.1

[micland]

Perhaps it's a bit off topic here but the download area is also a kind of webservice:

Usually for every release of QtSDK and QtCreator there's a file called md5sums.txt provided side by side with the source archives. But this file is missing for QtCreator 4.2.1:
https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/4.2/4.2.1/

Hi,

You can find the checksums when following the Detailslink.

Hope it helps

@SGaist
Ah, you're right. Thanks for the hint.
But I was looking for a simple text file as it was provided before with previous versions - the metadata site is not very helpful when processing the data with some (simple) scripts.

Update: I get a checksum without any html rubbish by adding the extension .md5 to the download link (or .sha1 or .sha256). That's sufficient for my case.

But I'm still curious if the checksum file was just forgotten occasionally or if it will not be provided anymore for all future releases...?

I don't know, however I'd go with the first option.
